Aunt An has been busy in the Jiaofang Palace all morning, and she has called the palace people inside and out, redressing the Jiaofang Palace, as if something big is about to happen.

Aunt An looked at the renovated Jiaofang Hall and smiled with satisfaction. This morning, the attendant of Feiyu Hall sent a lot of southern tribute tea, Aunt An knew that this was Xiang Hongxuan's favorite tea, a rare thing in the harem, and now Jiaofang Hall also has this rare southern tribute tea, it seems that the wind direction of the harem is about to change.

Since Ling Xi walked out of the Jiaofang Palace, Xiang Hongxuan's attitude towards Ling Xi has become much closer, Ling Xi, the queen's good day, is probably coming, and she, the aunt in charge of the Jiaofang Palace, is also about to soar. Thinking of this, Aunt An was even happier, and she worked harder to direct the palace people to clean the Jiaofang Palace, saying that she would come to the Jiaofang Palace after a while.

Ling Xi looked at Aunt An's enthusiasm, and began to mutter, this is still early for the New Year, why did you start cleaning up?

"Ginkgo, is there any holiday now? Aunt Ann, how did they start cleaning up? Ling Xi asked puzzled.

"Who knows, early in the morning, Aunt An called all the palace people to this inner hall, cleaned up, and took out all the precious ornaments in the treasury, as if there was something festive."

As soon as she heard this, Ling Xi suddenly became interested, she walked to Aunt An's side, and Aunt An didn't notice Ling Xi at all.

"Aunt An, what a big day is today, why is there such a big movement." Ling Xi said curiously.

"Oh, my queen mother, Your Majesty sent the southern tribute tea early in the morning, according to the practice of the palace, Your Majesty is going to drive the Jiaofang Palace, and the slaves and maids naturally have to clean the Jiaofang Palace, so that they can take over." Aunt Ann said excitedly.

"Your Majesty won't come, don't be busy." As soon as Ling Xi heard Aunt An's words, she sneered and said lightly.

"How can it be, if your majesty's royal things are generally rewarded to which harem lady, it will be placed in which palace." Aunt An didn't seem to believe Ling Xi's words, and rarely refuted Ling Xi's Aunt An, and confronted Ling Xi for the first time.

"It's almost noon, if Your Majesty comes, the inner servant will already spread the word, Your Majesty won't come over today, everyone will disperse."

Xiang Hongxuan will definitely not come today, if Ling Xi remembers correctly, these days are Wang Shuyue's bed, Xiang Hongxuan definitely doesn't have the time to come to her again, Aunt An is happy in vain.

Aunt An seemed a little unwilling, she asked people to make a pot of tribute tea, and she personally served it to Ling Xi.

"Queen Mother, maybe Your Majesty is planning to come over at night?" She said cautiously.

Ling Xi looked at Aunt An's expectation, and estimated that she wouldn't be able to listen to what Ling Xi said now.

"It's okay, you just prepare, in case Your Majesty comes, the Jiaofang Hall won't be too flustered."

She took a sip of tribute tea, it was really delicious, it didn't matter if Xiang Hongxuan came or not, in the future, this tea should be sent to Jiaofang Hall on time.

A ray of sunset swayed on the palace wall of Jiaofang Palace, and the residual heat of the sun quickly dissipated from the red palace wall, and night was coming. Ling Xi sat leisurely in the inner hall and drank tea, Aunt An and the palace people looked left and right for a long time, but they didn't see Xiang Hongxuan's figure, Aunt An was a little impatient, and walked out of the Jiaofang Hall after a while.

"Ginkgo, this palace is hungry, let's pass the meal." Ling Xi said leisurely, she was really hungry, she drank a lot of pots of tribute tea in the afternoon, and she was already hungry.

After a while, the palace people set up the dinner, and Ling Xi began to feast. Suddenly, Aunt Ann walked into the inner sanctum, as if she was a little depressed.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty should not be here today." Aunt An said softly.

"Yes, got it." Ling Xi continued to concentrate on eating the food in front of him, seemingly not caring about Aunt An's words at all.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty has state affairs today, so I didn't come to Jiaofang Palace, I heard that the Xihua border was sneak attacked, and the main general was captured by the Xihua people, Your Majesty is now in the front hall of the Feiyu Hall and the right minister is discussing with the right minister."

With a bang, Ling Xi's chopsticks fell, and her heart couldn't help but chuckle, something happened at the Xihua border? So what about Ye Muzhi, what happened to him, could it be that the captured master will be him?

"Aunt An, go to the small kitchen and get some pastries, this palace is going to the Flying Feather Palace."

Aunt An listened to Ling Xi's words, and suddenly came to her senses, and if Your Majesty didn't come to the Jiaofang Palace, the queen could go to the Feiyu Palace, she immediately walked quickly to the small kitchen.

.................................................................................................................................................... As soon as Ling Xi walked into the Flying Feather Palace, Xiao Dezi immediately greeted her.

"Queen Mother, Your Majesty is discussing state affairs with several ministers in the front hall, Niangniang will take a short rest, and wait for the servants to report."

"It's okay, the palace is to send some pastries to His Majesty, the father-in-law doesn't have to disturb His Majesty's deliberations, the palace is waiting in the inner hall."

Xiao Dezi quickly withdrew from the inner hall, Ling Xi walked to Xiang Hongxuan's desk, she glanced at the music on the desk, there should be a military report from the Xihua border, maybe there will be news from Ye Muzhi. Ling Xi gave Ginkgo a look, Ginkgo immediately walked to the door to sentry for Ling Xi, Ling Xi anxiously picked up a book on the table and looked at it.

Suddenly, a line of familiar fonts came into her eyes, and Ling Xi recognized at a glance that this was Jiang Zhennan's handwriting, wasn't there no war in the south for a long time? How could Jiang Zhennan still play the military newspaper, Ling Xi opened the military newspaper for a moment of curiosity.

This is a military report on the military plan of Nanxi and the situation of Nanxi Guo's military strength. Obviously, Xiang Hongxuan intends to send troops to Nanxi Kingdom, and it has been planned for a long time, that is to say, Xiang Hongxuan wants to destroy Nanxi Kingdom and unify the south, so Jiang Zhennan will guard the southern border all year round. I just don't know when this battle will be fought, Ling Xiao will also go to the battlefield.

Suddenly, there were a few ginkgo coughs, Ling Xi immediately put down the music in her hand, she tidied up the desk slightly, and then pretended to be calm and sat on the stool next to her.

Xiang Hongxuan walked into the inner hall with a solemn face, he was a little surprised when he heard that Ling Xi was coming, and he came at this time. Xiang Hongxuan thought of the military report sent by the Ministry of War just now, how should he talk to Ling Xi?

"Your Majesty, is the concubine bothering you?" Ling Xi looked at Xiang Hongxuan, who was walking towards him, and said politely.

"It's okay, I've already finished discussing things, and the queen has been waiting for a long time."

"Your Majesty, this is the dim sum of the Jiaofang Palace, and the concubine specially sent it to His Majesty to taste." As she spoke, Ling Xi took out a plate of delicate pastries from the food box, and she placed them in front of Xiang Hongxuan's eyes.

"The queen has a heart."

Xiang Hongxuan glanced at the pastries on the table, the corners of his mouth inadvertently rose slightly, his queen still cared about him, he slowly sat down beside Ling Xi, and looked at Ling Xi with some meaning.

"Queen, just now another military report was sent from the Xihua border, and Jiang Yong, the eldest son of the Marquis of Anguo, was killed in battle."

"Cousin? How so? My cousin has been training with his uncle in the southern military camp since he was a child, how could he die in battle like this? ”

Ling Xi couldn't believe her ears, originally she was here to inquire about Ye Muzhi's situation, but she waited for the news of Jiang Yong's death. Jiang Yong is the successor of her uncle Jiang Zhennan who has worked hard to train for more than 20 years, and now that Jiang Yong has died in battle, what should the Marquis of Anguo Mansion do in the future.

"Jiang Yong is a fierce general, originally he would not have been ambushed so easily, if Wang Bo was not captured by the king of Lin'an in Xihua, Jiang Yong would not have taken the risk of sending troops to rescue Wang Bo, the king of Lin'an had already calculated, leaving an empty camp for Jiang Yong to raid, and after Jiang Yong led the troops to rescue Wang Bo, the king of Lin'an laid an ambush on their way back to intercept them, Jiang Yong and Wang Bo unfortunately died in ambush."

"Aren't Xihua and Dongyu already interconnected? The two countries are at peace with each other, why are they fighting? Ling Xi asked puzzled. Didn't Feng Yingying marry Dongyu precisely because of the friendship between the two countries? How can there be a fight?

"Wang Bo in his own town of the border town wanton, clever robbery, he governs the underground, and Xihua trade is also made by him miasma, and he is also in the border town to rob the people's daughter, I heard that he robbed a Xihua country to the border town to do trade women, this woman is the sister-in-law of the king of Lin'an, after the king of Lin'an knew, he took hundreds of soldiers to break into the Dongyu military camp overnight, and captured Wang Bo alive. The queen can rest assured, I will not settle this account like this, I want Xihua to pay for the blood debt. ”

At this time, Xiang Hongxuan's face also leaked an embarrassed look, although it was Wang Bo who died at the border, but it gave him a reason to go to war, should he blame Wang Bo for his arrogance and rudeness, or thank him for martyrdom and add a pretext for Dongyu's attack on Xihua?

"So because Wang Bo is alone, is Dongyu going to war with Xihua?"

Ling Xi's eyes immediately overflowed with tears, as soon as she thought of going to war with Xihua, would Ye Muzhi be able to come back safely? Her heart ached so hard that tears flowed out of her eyes.

Xiang Hongxuan thought that Ling Xi would be sad, after all, Jiang Yong was her cousin, but he didn't expect Ling Xi to cry in front of him, maybe Ling Xi was not as strong as he thought, he couldn't help but gently wipe away the tears on Ling Xi's face with his hand.

"Queen, the war is like this, death does not mean the end, but the beginning, this battle is inevitable, I want to fight this battle fiercely, so that Xihua will not dare to argue with Dongyu from now on." Xiang Hongxuan said domineeringly, his eyes seemed to be able to emit light, this is the ambition of a young emperor, and it is also the grand cause of a high-spirited emperor.

Ling Xi thought of the Nanxi military report just now, it turned out that Xiang Hongxuan had long wanted to fight, he was waiting, and when the battlefield between Dongyu and Xihua was over, he was going to make a move on Nanxi. Xiang Hongxuan is an emperor with a grand strategy, but his great achievements are piled up with blood, the blood of several generations of the grandmother's family who sold steamed buns that day, the blood of the meritorious nobles, and maybe the blood of Ye Muzhi.

Ling Xi knew that Xiang Hongxuan was determined to fight this battle, she couldn't do anything, she left the Flying Feather Hall lonely, maybe Ye Muzhi shouldn't have joined the army, if he hadn't gone to the Xihua border and hadn't gone to the battlefield for her, at least he would still be alive now.

Ling Xi, who had just walked out of the Flying Feather Palace, stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but Ginkgo hurriedly stepped forward to support Ling Xi.

"Queen, what's wrong with you?" Ginkgo asked eagerly.

Ling Xi looked up at the round moon in the sky, she remembered that she had been in the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, and for countless nights, she had been looking at the moon in the sky from afar by the railing, praying for Ye Muzhi's safe return. But now that her prayers are useless, there is going to be a war, can Ye Muzhi come back? Without saying a word, she walked towards the Jiaofang Palace.
